The Little Sister and the Big Sister

by Emma Shipe

The little sister, who lived in a big house with her bigger sister, was trying to wake up her bigger sister. The little sister said, "Wake up!" And the bigger sister said, "Go away!"

At the door, their mom heard, "Stop!" "Mom!" "Hey!" "Ow!" The mom said, "Girls, get dressed and come downstairs." The sisters said, "Yes, ma'am!" They all went down. Their dad had already left.

The baby started crawling in the kitchen. Their mom made pancakes. "Mmmmm!" said the little sister. "Mom, can we watch The Little Pony?" The big sister said, "Yeah!"

"Yes," the mom said, while reading a book. The little sister said, "This is cool!" And the big sister said, "You have seen it 100 times!" And the mom said, "Girls, it's time to go to the store!"

The mom walked out the door with her purse. The big sister said, "After you!" to the little sister. The mom opened the door and the two girls were already seated in their seats. They drove away. They drove past two bushes and two tall trees. Then they got to the parking lot. The little sister said, "Boy, it's crowded." The big sister said, "Mom, there's a spot!"

The store they went to was called The Emma Store. The mom pushed the cart and the baby was sitting in the seat. The big sister was in front of the cart and the little was behind the mom. The little sister said, "Here we go!"

The mom was looking at the shelves. She said, "Hmmm. That is gone. Those are still there, but I don't need that. I already have maple syrup. I don't need any more soap. I already have soup. I think I need a few more bags and maybe some vegetables."

They all walked out. The mom said, "Hmmm." The big sister said, "Everybody's gone!" They went to their car. The baby said, "Bye, store!"

Twelve years later...The oldest girl was very pretty. The youngest girl had fair hair. The baby girl was the most beautiful of all because she had straight blond hair. The mom was older than ever. The oldest sister went to college. The youngest got married and moved away, but the baby grew up with her mom.

The End.
